SSA-1 (Silos 8&9), Pozmix (Silo 10), MPC (Silo 5, 7) Junk Tank (Silo 6), Type 3 (Tank 3), Spherelite (Tank 4) Barite (Tank 1)
Can Various Material Be Put In These Silos
No! Each Silo Is Permited For A Specific Material
What Is The Bulk Plant Computer System Called
PLC
How Many Times Do We Transfer Blends Through The Scale and Blend Tanks
4 Total Transfers Before Shipping To Bulk Truck
How Large Should One Batch Blend Be
No larger than one transport tank load
What is Halliburton’s Accuracy Standard for Cement and Additive Measurments
Accuracy of .1% of the gross capacity of the scale (25lbs for 25,000lb scale or 200lb for 200,000lb scale)
What is HMS procedure for “Sandwiching” Additives with Cement
HMS requires the 1/3, 1/2, 1/3, 1/2, 1/3 method. Add 1/3 of required cement for the batch, then 1/2 of the additives, then 1/3 of cement, then 1/2 of additives, followed by 1/3 cement.
When Should Samples Be Pulled for Lab
After the 4 pneumatic transfer. Bakersfield uses automatic in-line sampler operated throughout the complete transfer (total sample size should be around one gallon)
